We have not converted Kaduna Poly, Yabatech to universities – FG

The Federal Government has denied reports that it had converted Kaduna Polytechnic and Yaba College of Technology to universities.

The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Abubakar Abdulrasheed, who made this remark in Abuja, when he received the Executive Secretary of National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Dr. Masaudu Kazaure in his office, said the report was untrue.

Kazaure also revealed that dichotomy between HND and BSc holders in the civil service had been eliminated as Polytechnic graduates who acquired Post Graduate Diploma can now rise to the pinnacle of their career like their university counterparts in the Civil Service.
